Why this recipe
redbay brazilian cake lady · Home Roast
Grind 67 · 80 °C · 35 s · 2:00–2:40
Calculated by BrewMind's AI from this bean's altitude, process and roast, then checked against physical limits before you saw it.
This bean's sweetness lives in its texture, so weight and sweetness are chosen before clarity. It is a very soft bean that gives up flavour fast, so the recipe stays gentle to avoid bitterness.
The decisions
Rock salt. Naturals give up flavour fast, so it's set coarser, and the soft bean takes it much coarser still.
Dial in your grinder →80 °C to start, then 77 °C, 76 °C and 75 °C. Heat opens the grounds early; stepping down keeps the finish sweet, not bitter.
40 ml of water, then a 35-second wait. A short wait is enough before the next pour.
More of the water goes in early, while flavour comes out fastest. Three pours after the bloom keep body and clarity in step.
40 → 105 → 170 → 225 ml
Spiral pours reach the edges and stir the whole bed.
